After saying goodbye to Sid, Yog returned to the banquet hall again and chatted with Jonathan Gerald who was walking towards him. He noticed Anita Webber standing not far away. The two exchanged glances and focused quietly on the social objects in front of them. After a while, the two seemed to gather together inadvertently.

"How is it?" Anita held the champagne in her hand and greeted Judy Fosti, who was passing by. As the vice chairman of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, her connections in the circle should not be underestimated.

Yog whispered, "Same as expected." This made Anita raise her gaze, her eyes flashed slightly, and Yog smirked, "Those old scholars will not compromise easily." This is not difficult to understand. The judges of the college are life-long. With the accumulation of years, their fame, power and reputation are gradually increasing. They protect not only the so-called authority of the Oscars, but also their own authority and status. No one would easily compromise. "But they also realized that things are losing control."

The college will add a group of judges every year to supplement more fresh blood. This practice is also the foundation for Oscars to maintain authority, because the judges are updated every year, which also means that regardless of whether the senior officials and old scholars are willing, subtle changes occur every year, just like metabolism, and sooner or later, quantitative changes will cause qualitative changes. However, such changes require a lot of time to accumulate and precipitate, which is also the reason why the college is so slow to respond to changes in the process of the times.

Anita nodded meaningfully, "Hope Holiday just now complained that 'Raging Road' is an unknown test piece. The entire movie watching process is a torment, even worse than her knee joint treatment." Hope Holiday is already sixty-four years old this year.

It is conceivable that the conservative forces led by Sid will still do their best to prevent the "Raging Road" from reaching the top. In the next period of time, the college's public relations will probably be extremely lively.

"So, what should we do?" Anita raised her champagne glass and greeted Paramount's film and television manager.

Yog did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment, as if he had experienced some ideological struggle, "When will Tom Cruise's private party?"

"Next Friday." Anita's eyes were clear, "Are you sure?"

Tom Cruise was very active throughout the awards season. He was constantly canvassing votes for Lance's best director, Little Golden. To fight against Martin Scorsis and Clint Eastwood, Lance really needs more help. His qualifications are still too shallow after all, and even if he nominated for four consecutive years, it cannot prove much.

This time, Tom held a private party and specially invited many industry leaders, in name only to celebrate the second anniversary of his and his wife's acquaintance, but anyone with discerning eyes knew that this was a time to vote for Lance. Yogh planned to attend this party, and his intention was obvious. He wanted to extend an olive branch to Lance - less than a month after the Golden Globes just ignored Lance.

Instead, Yog became very calm and drank the champagne in the cup in one breath, "I'm sure."

Anita couldn't help but smile, "You think Lance will win."

Yog shook his head, "No, on the contrary, I think Lance will lose." The academics led by Sid felt an unprecedented crisis, especially after experiencing the chaos last year, they would never take it lightly and would not have a "car crash" again, so they would work harder to ensure that more votes would not go to the "rain of violence". "I think if nothing unexpected happens, Martin will really realize his dream." Compared to the "Tower of the Sky", "The Walker of the Infinite Stop" will be a more suitable choice, and more votes can be easily attracted within the academy.

"Then..." Anita's eyes flashed slightly.

Yog chuckled, "Do you think Lance will give up?" In the past few years, Lance has offended many people in Hollywood. The reason is very simple, not because Lance is too arrogant. There are countless people in Hollywood who are more arrogant and arrogant than Lance, and many of them are still half a bottle of water. But because Lance can always find the place and always slap back with confidence. If "Rampant Road" defeats this year's Oscars, Yog can't wait to see Lance's counterattack. "I think maybe next year's best film nomination list can see the figure of "Invincible Hulk". Of course, the premise is that this work can be released within this year."

Anita opened her mouth in surprise, finally turned into a smile, shook her head gently, "Okay, what are you going to do?" As Yog said, the real victory and defeat have actually left the Oscar stage itself, because of the existence of Lance, Chaos Pictures is no longer the same as before.

Large companies like Warner Bros. missed this year's Oscars, next year, next year's, and the year after. They can always make a comeback; while small companies like Diorama will fall into a long-term downturn because they missed an Oscar.

Before they knew it, Chaos Film was showing the style of the seventh player. The Golden Globe Awards had been wrong for four consecutive years, and they could no longer continue to make mistakes. Yog showed his decisiveness and courage. Next, the game between them and Lance.

Meanwhile, Sid was still standing outside, breathing fresh air, but the boiling in his head was still surging.

In fact, he had thought about it - and more than once, if they chose "Brokeback Mountain" last year, shouldn't they face the challenge of "Raging Road" this year? Looking back now, compared to "Raging Road", "Brokeback Mountain" is completely drizzle. They can recognize "Midnight Niu/Lang" thirty years ago. Why can't they recognize "Brokeback Mountain" thirty years ago? But "Raging Road" is different. Putting aside the impact of the spiritual core, the steampunk and hard-core rock styles are unbearable. Just thinking about it, the stomach begins to roll.

But time cannot go back. Just like a year ago, some people said that Lance would revolutionize the entire film industry, and he would definitely sneer.

The "Raging Road" is their biggest trouble at present. He knows better than anyone that the impact of this movie on the entire Hollywood and the entire film industry will have endless follow-up effects in all aspects. Of course, such an effect may really change the development direction of the entire film industry, just like "Citizen Kane", "Great White Jaws", and "Star Wars", and even have a prosperous impact on the development of culture. It may also disappear after a year or two, just like the handheld camera pseudo-documentary film accompanied by the popularity of "Witch Blair", there is no need to worry at all, and it cannot reach its true foundation.

However, he could not put all his bets on the illusory possibility of the future. Stopping the "Rampant Road" from reaching the top, which was the only thing he needed to consider, and to do his best. But... why did he have an ominous premonition, circling strongly in his chest, and even if they stopped Lance this time, they could not stop the next time.

Lance is like a nightmare that can never wake up, which reminds Sid of Stanley Kubrick. However, at least Stanley also filmed a "children in troubled times" to pay tribute to the academy and showed his sincerity. What about Lance? "Invincible Hulk", just thinking about this comic adaptation movie, just thinking of such a work adapted from vulgar street culture, it is very likely that a revolution will start again, and he feels his mind begin to hurt.

Next year's events will be temporarily left until after the Oscars are over. The imminent voting deadline needs to be considered first.

Sid breathed a long sigh and carefully recalled today's nomination luncheon. What he could be sure of was that Clint Eastwood, Francis Ford Coppola was obviously not from the "Rampage Road" camp. Although he didn't understand any personal grudges between them and Lance, this was obviously good news; Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg and Lance had a good personal relationship, but they were competitors this year, so there was no need to worry about this; but George Lucas... and Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Will Smith, etc., they all praised the "Rampage Road".

After thinking about it, Sid realized that it was definitely not easy to defeat the "Raging Road". Chaos Film has obviously won the support of independent film companies and women's camps. Now many male actors who are closely related to commercial films and are closely related to independent films have also shown signs of turning against each other. However, it is not so easy to win the "Raging Road", and the college still has the initiative.

Martin Scorsis.

This name is enough. No matter how grand Lance's momentum is, Martin's appeal in the industry is unmatched; the overall quality of "Walking in the Strike" is also very good, and he can shoulder the heavy responsibility of fighting Lance. Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, and Mark Wahlberg's strong cast is icing on the cake; not to mention that he missed the "Flyer" two years ago, this time the judges would not want to see Martin's lonely back again.

I took a deep look at the unfolding city scene. There was a hint of noise in the tranquility, a hint of restlessness in the tranquility, and a hint of heat in the depression, just like this year's Oscars.

Sid turned around, took steps towards the banquet hall, and returned to the hustle and bustle of wine and chattering again. He identified the direction and walked straight towards Barry Mayer's position. Martin Scorses and Steven Spielberg were standing beside Barry.

Perfect! Perfect opportunity! And he will make full use of such opportunities to achieve his goal perfectly.
Chapter completed!
